Exciting News for Lakepointe Residents!

We are pleased to announce that starting Wednesday, April 2nd, Lakepointe’s trash removal services will be provided by KC Disposal. This change comes at no additional cost to the HOA and brings several improvements for our community.

What Stays the Same

• Pickup Day: Trash, recycling, and yard waste will continue to be collected every Wednesday.

• Bins: Keep using your current bins! KC Disposal will provide new stickers for them.

What’s New & Improved

• Locally Owned: KC Disposal is a reputable, locally owned and operated company.

• Reliable Fleet: They operate 50 trucks, all less than 5 years old.

• Missed Pickup? A dedicated truck serves Johnson County for quick resolution of any missed collections.

• Bulk Item Pickup: Each household is eligible for one bulk item pickup per year, up to 5 items. Details on how to schedule this will be provided soon.

• Yard Waste: Yard waste collection continues all year long, with up to 10 bags per week allowed. Yard waste collection is subcontracted but remains seamless for residents.

Reminders for Residents

• Set Out Time: Place all containers at the curb by 7:00 AM on Wednesday.

• Best Practice: Set out bins Tuesday night and return them after collection Wednesday.

• City Ordinance: Containers may be set out no more than 24 hours before pickup and must be stored out of sight within 12 hours after collection.

• Yard Waste: Use approved kraft paper bags for yard waste. Sticks and branches should be bundled (max 4' in length).

• Bulk Items: Watch for more information on how to schedule your annual bulk item pickup.

Service Issues

If you experience any issues with your trash, recycling, or yard waste collection, please contact KC Disposal directly. More details and contact information will be posted soon.

Always put items in the container loose. Never in plastic garbage bags!

Newspaper, magazines, office paper and common mail can all be recycled.

• Shredded paper is not allowed and should be thrown in your trash instead.
• Paper can’t be recycled if it’s mixed with other materials. Remove the bubble wrap or plastic windows before recycling padded packaging or security envelopes.

Cardboard (including wax coated cardboard) can be recycled as long as it isn’t contaminated by food, liquid or waste.

• Break down cardboard boxes. It makes them easier to process and leaves more room for other recyclables.
• Remove any styrofoam or packing peanuts and dispose of those materials in your trash.

Hard plastic containers (#1-7) like water bottles, milk jugs and detergent containers can all be recycled.

• Flexible plastics like grocery bags and bubble wrap can’t be recycled curbside.
• If you can poke your finger through the plastic, it doesn’t belong in your recycling.

Before recycling food and drink cans, remove labels, rinse, and let dry.

• Aluminum foil is not recyclable and should go in your trash.
• Some metal cans have an insulated coating that might not be recyclable. When in doubt, throw it out!
